Section 145 Spirits on horseback
Madame Xiao stared at the bronze horse's face in a panic, and the place that originally belonged to the eye was covered with a black cloth. Although the black cloth was only a narrow strip, it effectively covered his eyes, which made Mrs. Xiao, who likes to probe people's hearts, extremely uncomfortable. She trembled and asked, "I wonder what Your Excellency is trying to do when you stop me?"
The handle of the copper horse knife shook its strength, and with a "swish" sound, all the blood on the knife fell to the ground. He put the knife into the sheath and said, "It's nothing, I just want to say hello to you." ”
When Mrs. Xiao heard that he didn't mean to harm herself, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: "I have seen a lot of people from the Central Plains, they are very polite, and some Confucian scholars even regard etiquette as more important than their own lives. Your Excellency's greeting to people like this can be regarded as unique among the polite Central Plains people. ”
The corner of the bronze horse's mouth smiled slightly, and said: "Confucianism, it's just a moth of the country!" These Confucian students are the most polite and reciprocal, since Mrs. Xiao likes them, it must be because I didn't bring a gift." He raised his left hand and threw it, and the head in his hand flew towards Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao was so frightened that she covered her face and screamed. The head rolled a few times in the grass, and finally stopped in a posture of raising his mouth and nose to the sky, and looked at the sky with melancholy eyes. Maybe he is unwilling to die, and he will leave this world like this.
Madame Xiao recognized the head as one of the four messengers she had sent. She looked up at the bronze horse, trying to find a glimmer of reliable information from the twitching corners of his mouth with a smile. She asked, "Please...... What do you mean by this, the little woman doesn't understand. ”
The bronze horse smiled: "How can a woman as smart as Mrs. Xiao not understand the meaning of my little gift. Ordinary friends will only send some gold, silver and jewelry to their friends to eat, drink and have fun with him. But the contemptible person thought to himself, as a good friend, he should send charcoal in the snow, and remind Mrs. Xiao of what she should do and what she should not do at the most critical moment. ”
Madame Xiao cautiously replied, "It is the first time that the little woman has met such a good friend as Your Excellency, and she not only killed my people, but also slaughtered my mount. ”
The bronze horse took a deep breath against the cold wind, and then spit out heavily, which sounded like a sigh to Mrs. Xiao.
He said: "It is an easy place to nap on horseback, and a noble person like Mrs. Xiao has very few opportunities to walk on weekdays. Therefore, I would like to ask Mrs. Xiao to take a few more steps, which is a good thing, which can not only strengthen your body, but also make you more aware when thinking about things. ”
Mrs. Xiao stared at his face and said slowly, "Dare to ask Your Excellency how many people I killed." The bronze horse replied: "Two, and the third person was released after the contemptible questioning." Too many messengers will only make your message, Madame Xiao, lose its weight in front of Yelush. The third person arrived at the right time, he could not only make Yelu Shilu feel urgent, but also show the weight of you, Madame Xiao. ”
Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, I have to thank Your Excellency for your kindness. The bronze horse smiled: "Don't dare to be! I hope that Mrs. Xiao will accept my gift and think about it carefully, Yelu Shilu may not be reliable." ”
He turned a deaf ear to the approaching army of Jerod, and turned and headed south, his steps seemed slow and fast, and in a moment his back was shrinking into a black dot at the end of the meadow.
Madame Xiao glanced at the head on the ground, and a fly was spinning around the head nose in a bored manner. She glanced at it, but didn't want to look at it anymore, so she left her head and walked alone in the cold wind of the grassland.
The screams of the Yelu men came to her face, but she didn't want to look up even a glance. Her mind was in a mess, and there was only one thing that made her feel unusually lucky: she had actually sent four messengers, and the bronze horse had only captured the first three.
The fourth person is the most important! She had told him in a thousand ways that he could not act until she and the people of Haruka Tai had all left the camp.
Yao Yuantai has a characteristic, the strength of each tent in the battalion is deployed, and he has to change it every day, but only once a day. This fourth person needs to lead the generals out of the camp to hunt after Yao Yuantai has made a clear picture of the troop arrangements of the various tents in the camp, and then explained them to Yelu Shilu in detail.
If Yelu Shilu could get this information, it would have been easy for him to take the 20,000 leaderless army of Yao Rantai. Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao showed a slight smile on her face, after all, her most important move, the bronze horse still failed to master.
However, the actual situation was far from what she expected, and at this moment the fourth person was sitting on horseback drunkenly with wine, and looked at Liu Yu at the front of the line with a smile.
Liu Yu rode on horseback and staggered, he held the reins of the horse in his left hand and the wine jar in his right hand, drinking as he walked. Chi Hugang followed behind him and asked nervously, "Liu Yingying, where are we going?"
Liu Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's a long journey, just drink!" He raised the wine jar, raised his head and drank freely, the wine from his mouth flowing down his chin, soaking a large part of his chest.
Chi Hu glanced behind him, and saw that the team was mighty, and the tail of the team was not visible from afar. There were both light cavalry and men driving tented ox carts along slowly. There were about 20,000 soldiers in the whole battalion, and all of them followed.
As soon as Yao Yuantai and Mrs. Xiao and others went out this morning, Liu Yu stood in the open space in front of the main tent with the wine jar. Without any military orders, numerous soldiers spontaneously surrounded him in the center.
When Chi Hu arrived, Liu Yu was saying something to the soldiers in generous words, and the soldiers were thunderous with joy. His general meaning was, "Lead the men out of this lifeless place, to fight a man's victory, to drink a good drink!"
When the soldiers heard this, not a single one of them objected. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chi Hu urgently wanted to stop it. At this time, a soldier squeezed out of the crowd and stood in the middle of the clearing, he was the fourth person arranged by Madame Xiao.
He admitted to everyone that he was an undercover agent arranged by Mrs. Xiao, and he was supposed to be ordered to go to Yelu Shilu's army to inform, and lead those people to take the opportunity to attack the camp.
According to the soldier's original words, "I have drunk so many wines with Liu Yingying, he is an eagle on the grassland, and he is the best brother in my life, as a grassland man, how can I do something to sell my brother!"
His words won thunderous applause. The soldiers returned to their accounts and packed up their weapons, dismantled their tents and put them on ox carts. Where would Mrs. Xiao have thought that the undercover agent she bought with a lot of money would betray her in the end because of a few jars of wine.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Chi Hu did not stop him any longer, thinking that as long as he heard the news of the third prince, he would immediately go to report it.
Listening to Liu Yu's order, the army drove south amid the shouts of the soldiers. Chi Su Rong Ma has been fighting for half his life, and he has rarely seen such high morale, and he is secretly horrified in his heart.
Liu Yu drank along the way, and the soldiers followed suit, each carrying a wine jar on horseback and drinking crookedly. Seeing this, Chi Hugang was uneasy and persuaded: "Liu Yingying, we can't be so drunk, how can we fight if we encounter the enemy?"
Liu Yu waved his hand, and a soldier immediately took a jar of wine and sent it to Chi Hu. He smiled and said: "Brother Chi, don't be anxious, you will be happy when you drink this jar of wine, haha!"
Although Chi Hugang is very greedy for cups on weekdays, he has no interest in drinking at the moment, and sighed: "Without the consent of the third prince, we led the army out of the camp without authorization, which is a capital crime to kill the head." If we lose another battle and break these soldiers and horses, we will destroy all the inheritance of the third prince!" )
